Another Open, another top 5 for Scott

By

HOYLAKE, England – The luck of the draw is always part of this Open Championship, which helped Adam Scott take some of the sting out of another top 5 at the year’s third major.

The world No. 1, who tied for fifth, was one of only four players who played in the more difficult late-early wave for the first two rounds at Royal Liverpool and eventually finished in the top 20. The others were Shane Lowry (T-9), Keegan Bradley (T-19) and Chris Kirk (T-19).

“I’m disappointed,” Scott said, “but you can get on the wrong side of the draw every now and then.”

First-round conditions were perfectly calm in the morning, only for the wind to pick up in the afternoon. The opposite was true on Friday.
